this would happen, but there would be the highlight of the odd relegation scrap thrown into the equation
if you watch the football you may realise many people actually find relegation a much more interesting topic than who will win the championship, for obvious reasons

Dont you think 3 years is a long time to wait? even after 3 years its upto the shop keeper if your alowed in or not. Can this be really good fo the game?

No. It would be the same clubs going up and down all the time which can't do them any good. With P&R there is the temptation for clubs to throw all their eggs in one basket in order to attain instant promotion and that can't be better than giving them three years to get up to scratch before giving them a SL license. Clubs now are run much more like businesses and for that they need a stable environment, something that P&R doesn't provide.
